Last month we urged our Canadian readers to join the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) so that they would become eligible to vote for the next CPC Leader.
If you did become a voting member of the CPC by the deadline of March 28th, you’ve either already received your mail-in ballot, or will do so in the next few days.
The ranked ballot sent by the Party allows you to vote for up to 10 candidates out of the 13 who are running. We ask that you please mark your ballot with either Brad Trost or Pierre Lemieux as your #1 choice, and the other of those two candidates as your #2 choice.
These two courageous candidates are the only ones who have campaigned on defending the sanctity of human life, free speech, the nuclear family, and parental rights. Lemieux and Trost have both pledged that if they become Prime Minister, their government will put forward legislation to ban sex-selective abortions.
They’ve both promised to pass an Unborn Victims of Crime Act, as government legislation, not as a mere private members bill. This Act would protect mothers and their preborn children whenever a pregnant woman is violently assaulted and injury or death occurs to her unborn baby.
Trost and Lemieux have also committed to repealing Trudeau’s gender identity and gender expression bill (C-16), which seeks to normalize and promote sexual confusion and mental illness. That bill, C-16, will force everyone in society to bow down and affirm transsexualism, transgenderism, and cross-dressing or face civil and criminal charges of hate speech or discrimination.
What about the other 8 spots on the ballot?
LifeSiteNews is recommending the advice of Campaign Life Coalition, which suggests pro-life/pro-family Canadians not to vote for any other candidate besides Lemieux and Trost.
Campaign Life Coalition published a Voters Guide which provides comprehensive justification for why all other candidates are disqualified from consideration, and don’t deserve the support of pro-life and pro-family Canadians.
Although he has a perfect pro-life voting record, Andrew Scheer is included amongst the disqualified candidates because he kicked-off his leadership campaign with a promise to never re-open the abortion debate. That was tantamount to pledging that his government would never grant legal protection to children in the womb. No politician who considers themselves truly “pro-life” should have such a policy.
It pains us to disqualify Scheer, but we agree with Campaign Life Coalition’s recommendation to exclude him, along with others, from the ballot. We recommend you mark the ballot only with Lemieux and Trost in the #1 and #2 positions, in whichever order you prefer.
Sincerely,
